Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

MetaCalm® Description

Current lifestyles can be stressful and the standard American diet does not always provide needed nutrients. MetaCalm® provides the amino acid building blocks and the necessary vitamin and mineral cofactors to help the body’s synthesis of both mood enhancing and calming neurotransmitters. Amino acids like L-theanine can help induce an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness, while GABA and glycine can soothe the effects of excitatory neurotransmitters. 5-HTP is a building block of serotonin, an important mood and stress regulating neurotransmitter. MetaCalm® is a full spectrum nutritional product to encourage relaxation of the central and peripheral nervous system. *

Description: MetaCalm® is a full spectrum nutritional product to encourage relaxation of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Uses: Stress is an increasing factor in modern life. Neurotransmitters play an important role in the regulation of mood, anxiety, and reaction to stress (1). MetaCalm® provides the amino acid building blocks and the necessary vitamin and mineral co-factors to support production of both mood-enhancing and calming neurotransmitters.

Vitamin C, the most important water-soluble antioxidant in the body, is a cofactor in the biosynthesis of the catecholamine neurotransmitters, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

MetaCalm® contains the biologically active forms of the B-vitamin cofactors needed for neurotransmitter synthesis: L-methylfolate, pyridoxal 5 phosphate (B-6), and methylcobalamin (B-12). The minerals magnesium, zinc and selenium are involved in many enzymatic reactions including neurotransmitter synthesis and breakdown. Low levels of these minerals have been linked to anxiety and mood disorders, and supplementation can have a beneficial effect (2,3,4).

GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that may reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation and improve sleep. Orally administered GABA has been shown to increase alpha waves and decrease beta waves in the brain- an indicator of relaxation (5).

Taurine can cross the blood-brain barrier where it acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, calming over-stimulated neurons and protecting against glutamate toxicity (6).

Inositol is a second-messenger precursor, and this activity is related to activation of serotonin receptors. Studies have shown inositol to be effective for panic disorder (7) and to improve anxiety and stress scale scores (8).

5-HTP is an immediate precursor to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood, sleep, anxiety, appetite, pain sensation, and gut health. Clinical trials indicate that 5-HTP provides support for healthy sleep, normal moods and emotional well-being (9).

Able to cross blood-brain barrier, L-theanine increases levels of GABA, serotonin, dopamine and glycine in various regions of the brain, promoting relaxation without drowsiness. L-theanine has been shown to promote alpha-wave activity in the brain, a sign of relaxation (10).
